We welcome you to our school located in the beautiful village of East Allington.
Our school and staff are committed to the ‘EA ABC’. We want every child to be Active, Bold and Caring. What does this mean?
Active: be hard working, be independent.
Bold: have a go, be brave.
Caring: be kind, be respectful.
We are a happy, creative and inclusive school with a very positive ethos of high expectations and excellent behaviour underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child which recognise the rights of children and young people and ensure that they grow up in the spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and solidarity.
The school is set in stunning grounds which we use to the full with our own Forest School, poly tunnel and sports field. We currently have 99 children on roll and 15 children in our thriving pre-school. We are popular and many children commute from outlying villages and Kingsbridge.
We cannot share the strengths of our school in this short piece of writing. The remainder of this site will tell you some more, but the best way to find out is to come and visit us. Our children, staff and parents will be delighted to tell you about the school.

Active: Be Hard Working, Be Independant

Caring: Be Kind, Be Respectful
Time to compost! Thanks to the generosity of Kingsbridge Estuary Rotary and the skills of Alan and Alan from the Kingsbridge Shedders – we are all set up to reduce landfill waste by composting. Eco warriors helped with the construction and will be collecting the compost each week so that we can eventually use it in the polytunnel!
Skipping bonanza! Everyone enjoyed a skipping workshop last Wednesday – keeping active, fit and having fun! The school have bought new skipping ropes to encourage this excellent exercise!
Year 6 paddling on the Kingsbridge Estuary – thanks to ‘Singing Paddles’, our leavers had this superb experience. Thank you to parents who transported and joined in to make this possible.
Hazel class took their maths outside in the sunshine, making nets out of 2D shapes to make their own 3D shapes.
Reduce, reuse, recycle! Alex, from Resourcefutures returned to EA following our Waste Audit last week – she worked with our Eco Warrior team to help us recycle better and reduce what we throw away and led an assembly for the whole school; positive action for a positive future!
